I telephoned Julia at Artpool, and it looks like they won’t be around on Friday, so I decide not to spend the extra cash to go to Budapest. I’ve been overly worried about money, although I make sure I eat enough food, but the absurdity of the situation makes me cringe at every shilling/03k/pound/penny/kronur that goes out. Especially when none are coming in. Today I go early to the terminals at the University of Technology library to do some research on the Web. And the day washes over me in a series of visual impressions. From Heironymous Bosch (at the Gemäldegalerie), to works by Asger Jorn (both at the Akademie der bildenden Künste) to various Web sites (essay by Joseph Squier, new entries by Robbin Murphy at artnetweb, uh, drinking coffee and writing this mind-state-wave into the afternoon. Sun, brilliant and warm, finally, spring. No doubt. For what it is worth, I noticed how the work of Bosch was painted from three pigments that corresponded to the Red-Green-Blue (RGB) channels of a color television tube. Hmmm. The students at the Kunst Akademie were marching last night, and the strike involving teachers in some areas of higher education is approaching a critical point. It is unclear to me what exactly the issues are, but they relate to economics and layoffs and lowering of student loan subsidies. I break for a moment to record the birds out the window, they sing at the twiLight at both ends of the Day. Tomorrow I will make an audio snapshot of Vienna. Walking and listening. Today I made some images, but seemingly in a more retrospective mood from times in the past when I would wander aimlessly around whatever city I happened to be in. I was thinking of the two most powerful energy sources for me, sources that input direct into my life-energy, sources of regeneration. Light and Silence. How to source and reference both in work?
